PASHA Bank has integrated Asan Imza’s mobile e-signature technology into its Internet Banking service

PASHA Bank, one of Azerbaijan's largest banks, announces that it integrated the Asan Imza e-signature solution into its Internet Banking portal on 8 September, 2014. By adopting Asan Imza's technology, PASHA Bank has provided yet another layer of security to its Internet Banking service, giving its customers complete confidence to conduct banking transactions online.

Unlike other e-signature solutions, Asan Imza turns customers' mobile phones into electronic identity cards. This allows them to gain highly secure access to e-services such as internet banking without the need for a card reader. Customers can also use Asan Imza to sign documents electronically. Asan Imza always protects users' identities and is the only legal mobile electronic signature solution available in Azerbaijan.

Asan Imza is the perfect partner to help us to make our Internet Banking system as secure as it can possibly be."

Fuad Aslanov, Director of the Bank Systems Development Department at PASHA Bank, also commented: "Until recently, legislation in Azerbaijan has lagged behind banks' technical capacity to apply modern solutions to the country's banking sector. Being the only legal mobile electronic signature solution available in Azerbaijan, Asan Imza is an excellent example of how technology can be innovatively applied to make banking more convenient for customers without compromising their security. PASHA Bank will continue to seek innovative technological solutions to further improve the security of its remote banking systems, as well as to enhance customer experience."

"Asan İmza" technology offers a number of important advantages enabling to expand the online banking services. The most important of these is that "Asan İmza" is the only legal mobile electronic signature solution from the point of view of legislation of the Azerbaijan Republic and provides comfort, high validity and security for authorisation and signing of the documents in electronic environment.
